Sorry, I didn't realize that this topic was active or I would have jumped in sooner.

Saw this thread and found it odd that just this past weekend I found my old SH CE cd and was able to get it to install and run via DOSBox. I've been getting a hankering for some subbing as of late, like someone said, SH1 was what started it all for me back in the day! I'm definitely gonna download that mod by Hawk and see the changes.

And I know this is a bit late, but Stephan-C never indicated he resolved his sound issue. I had a similar issue on my XP box with the Tank Sim "Tiger Hunt" a few months back and resolved it by lowering the sound acceleration slider to the lowest setting. The game ran fine after that.

So after installing PA and getting it to run correctly, I find that in SH1 when I try to activate the Charts by either pressing F5 or clicking on Charts I get a CTD. Anyone else ever come across this??

Iirc there is a text file or ini file with file paths. Maybe that one isn't resembling the installation on your system.

There was also a specific map that could cause a CTD (North or South Japan iirc) but that was only when you specifically clicked it, I think You had to replace it with a fixed file. It's probably in the legacy downloads of Subsim.

This one is it:
